Braving chilly temperatures, students, staff, faculty and alum- ni turned out Friday to celebrate the formal launch of the Victors for Michigan fundraising cam- paign. Following an outdoor community festival, attendees crowded Hill Auditorium for a glitzy campaign kickoff featur- ing University President Mary Sue Coleman and campaign chair Stephen Ross. Organized by the Universi- ty's Office of Development, the festival and launch celebration aimed to gather student and donor support for the Victors for Michigan fundraising campaign - an ambitious $4 billion drive slated to run until 2018. With the inside of Hill Audi- toriumbathed in blue light, cam- paign organizers set the mood on high as pop music blared and crowds of yellow-shirted students, alumni and guests filled Hill's lower bowl and then flowed up to the balcony. In a carefully choreographed lineup, discussion of the cam- paign's top priorities - student support, engaged learning and bold ideas - were punctuated by professionally produced vid- eos and featured students.

The fig- ure is significant in a way, as the Univer- sity didn't even make the list between 2002 and 2005. The 2012 to 2013 Institute of Inter- national Education Open Doors survey * showed that the University enrolled 2,060 students in study-abroad pro- grams in 2011-2012, a 6 percent increase over the previous period. One of University President Mary Sue Coleman's presidential initiatives during her time at the helm has been an expan- sion of study-abroad programs - some- thing that wasn't a priority when she began her tenure in 2002. Between 2002 and 2005, fewer than 1,300 students enrolled in study-abroad programs. The University earned a spot on the list starting in 2006, and enroll- ment has since fluctuated around 2,000 students. However, when it comes to assessing the quality of study-abroad programs, the raw number of enrolled students doesn't tell the whole story. According to JamesPaul Holloway, vice provost for global and engaged education, the sur- vey only reflects students doing study abroad for credit. "The data you don't see there is the co-curricular that that survey has not systematically collected." said Holloway. "The message for us, I think, is that for students it's not about credit. It's about educational experiences abroad, wheth- er they're for credit or not." The results from the 2010 to 2011 school year placed the University's enrollment of 1,964 squarely in the middle of the pack of peer institutions, between a high of 2,451 at the University of California, Los Angeles and a low of 1,347 at the University of Iowa. The full 2012-2013 ranking list was not available Sunday. Those co-curricular, or non credit- granting opportunities, attracted 400 University students in 2005. By 2010, co-curricular enrollment had grown to 1,500 students. The most popular desti- nation for credit-granting programs was Spain, with 312 students, followed by See ABROAD, Page 5A Student veterans and other military personnel played in a basketball game at Crisler Center Sunday.

The Army vs. Navy Wheelchair Bas- ketball Game served as the last event in the Investing in Ability Week spon- the Veterans Week celebrations at the University that will continue until Fri- day. The Navy may have overpowered with a 31-22 win over the Army, but there was more to the afternoon than just the scoreboard. Gerald Hoff, the event's organizer and an insurance representative at the University of Michigan Health System, said the event was held to celebrate all veterans regardless of physical ability. "There may be many celebrity-type games, but when it comes to Army- Navy, you can say it's on," Hoff said. "When that ball drops, these guys and ladies go at it and they are very serious Basketball Game featured University of Michigan and Eastern Michigan University studentveterans, ROTC stu- dents from both universities, veterans from the Veteran Affairs Ann Arbor Health System and the Washtenaw County Sherriff's Department, as well as one member from the U.S. Paralym- pics team. Paul Schulte, co-captain of the U.S. Paralympics men's wheelchair basket- ball team, was originally scheduled to participate in the event but was unable to play due to a recent injury. However, he flew in from Tampa, Fla., to support the veterans. See GAME, Page SA WEATHER HI: 36 TOMORROW LO:22 GOT A NEWS TIP?
